ResMed S9 VPAP Adapt

The most responsive algorithm
VPAP Adapt targets minute ventilation for optimal therapy and outcomes—ResMed's unique ASV algorithm monitors and learns the patient's recent minute ventilation (tidal volume × breathing rate) and sets a target at 90% of recent minute ventilation. The Pressure Support and backup rate then continually adjust to reflect the patient's changing needs, reliably and steadily keeping patients on target all through the night. In ASVAuto mode, the EPAP also responds to flow limitation, snore and obstructive apneas on the next breath, in proportion to the severity of the event.

Patient comfort through synchrony
Advanced, predictive technology maximizes comfort and synchrony over a wide range of breath rates—The ASV algorithm continuously learns the patient's own respiratory rate through high-resolution breath phase mapping, maintaining an accurate backup rate even at lower breath rates. The algorithm maintains synchrony with the patient's respiratory pattern by learning and predicting the inspiratory and expiratory durations as well as flow along 13 identifiable breath features. Additionally, the ResMed leak management feature ensures greater synchrony by offsetting variations and inconsistency due to leak.

Easy-Breathe for the most natural breathing comfort—Unique to ResMed, the patented Easy-Breathe waveform delivers a smoother, more comfortable breathing experience by replicating the natural wave shape of normal breathing.

Ease of care
Market-leading simplicity—Empirically selected default parameters are designed to cover the broadest range of patient setups. Unlike competitive devices that require setting extra parameters such as Rise Time, the VPAP Adapt reduces the need for elaborate customization during setup.

Let your patients choose the way in which they fall asleep—Ramp functionality helps your patients fall asleep easily by making it more comfortable to breathe as they transition from awake to sleep state.

User-friendly interface—The intuitive treatment screen displays the patient's inspiratory and expiratory pressures in an easy-to-read bar graph, in addition to other patient data such as target minute volume and minute volume at every breath.
